Planmaker 2016 & 2018 wrongly reformat a long number
When I enter about 13 numbers into a cell, it is automatically and wrongly reformatted by Planmaker. E.g. I might enter the following 13 numbers into a cell in column E, row 3: 7601160037089. Planmaker automatically changes this to 7,60116E+012. Why does this happen? How do I avoid this from happeni...

Re: Incorrrectly turned inverted comma
I see that you were insulted about this matter! "Mir scheint, dass sich die Softmaker-Programmierer mehr darum kümmern, neumodischen Firlefanz in Softmaker Office einzubauen, anstatt altbekannte Mängel in Ordnung zu bringen." It would be interesting to see if Microsoft has managed to adapt...

Re: Incorrrectly turned inverted comma
Thanks! The " nn = 'n " SmartText solution works fine. I enter character 0336 by typing two hyphens in a row (followed by a space) in the same way. I try to minimize key-combination accelerators because I tend to forget them. I'll read the German discussion, thanks for the reference!

Incorrrectly turned inverted comma
The following, very commonly and regularly used Afrikaans word has the inverted comma turned the wrong way around when it is typed into a Textmaker document: 'n . The word 'n has exactly the same meaning and use as the word (the article) "a" in English, e.g. "a car", "an emp...

Did Revision 928 install automatically?
Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, I did not download and install a new service pack for Softmaker 2018 recently. Yet a "revision 928.0314" seems to have been installed. Should I go see a doctor? Or are service packs aka revisions now being installed automatically?

Re: How do I automatically replace two hyphens in a row with en-dash or em-dash (0336)?
Thanks a lot! I must have been given the same instruction when starting out with Softmaker 2016, but could not find it by searching with terms such as "hyphen", "em dash", "replace" etc., either in the Forum or in the Users Guide. Anyway, back on track with em dash!

How do I automatically replace two hyphens in a row with en-dash or em-dash (0336)?
When using Textmaker 2016, I managed to set up the program so that two hyphens in a row automatically changed to en dash or em dash (Character number 0336). This sign (Character number 0336) creates a break in the structure of a sentence. E.g. "When I went to London ─ before I went to Paris ─ I...

Re: Problem Loading images into Textmaker 2018
Yes, please send (i.e. attach) a sample document with a picture you inserted and which you find difficult to resize and/or position as you wish. I wonder if you might perhaps be struggling with an "embedded object" rather than a "object frame", or vice versa. I like Textmaker's h...

Re: Dutch translation
Have some sympathy for the translator. Some features or functions of a computer program were difficult to name in English, to start off. So a perfect translation into another language might be near impossible. Consider for instance Options > Appearance, where the term "Appearance" struggle...

Re: Does a new setting made under Options override the settings of the default template when creating subsequent documen
Thanks! I have been laboring under the misunderstanding that some settings under Options could be incorporated into the default template, e.g. a certain language could be selected as the initial or primary language when the default template is applied. But now the scales have fallen from my eyes and...

Does a new setting made under Options override the settings of the default template when creating subsequent documents?
I notice that when I change a setting under Options, it (the new Options setting) remains active after I exit Textmaker, then restart Textmaker, and then create a new document applying the default template. The changed Options setting seems to rule over all new documents, regardless of how the defau...

Re: How can I avoid curly quotation marks and quotation marks adapted to a certain language?
Thanks very much! Switching smart quotes to "None" under Options was the solution. It seems you can apply smart quotes to an individual document by going to the Options > Edit > Smart Quotes dialog. This setting may remain active when subsequent documents are created. So before exiting (or...

How can I avoid curly quotation marks and quotation marks adapted to a certain language?
Please look at the position and appearance of the quotation marks in the attachment. I would like to avoid such curly quotation marks and quotation marks positioned according to the writing customs of the language used for spell-checking. (In the first example, the old Dutch custom of starting a quo...

Re: Quick acc ess toolbar + Ribbon
I don't think its possible to export a particular, individual configuration of the Quick Access bar to other computers. But that is my guess. It seems to me that the new arrangement of control buttons has two purposes. Firstly, the arrangement can be customized to suit the needs or priorities of the...

Thanks for the applause. =; But wait, not so soon... I decided to move the Hamburger Menu icon from the Quick Access Tool to the Commands section once again --- to see once and for all if there is either a bug or a deliberate step taken by the developers regarding the positioning of this control but...
